Tsurugi Kamiya

"'Kamiya Tsurugi, 26 years old! 13 years of wage slavery!'"

Tsurugi Kamiya (狼谷 吊戯) is a member of C3, a greatly feared neutral organization among vampires.

Appearance
Tsurugi Kamiya is a 26 year old male with gold eyes and black hair. He has pale skin and is smaller than his teammates at C3. He is often seen wearing his C3 uniform, which resembles a straitjacket. He wears bands around his wrists that hang down and sway when he walks.

History
Not much is known about Tsurugi's past. He mentions that he has lived at C3 ever since he was born. Yet he remembers when Touma picked him up once - he wasn't able to eat, because he had no teeth, and he didn't even know how to drink from a baby's bottle. Touma brought him to Tsuyuki's family where he was probably raised (most likely by Shuhei's father in C3's HQ) and even celebrated his birthday. When Touma asked about his wish for his birthday, he said all he wanted was a real family - not sweets, toys, money or power - but he also knew this family wasn't his own real family.

When he was around 13, he became partners with Mikuni and Jeje, and shared a room with them. During this time, he received money from Mikuni for doing whatever he was told. Mikuni recalls that when the three of them were together, Tsurugi and Jeje spoke every night.

Tsurugi seems to have been involved with Touma in the past, but more about their relationship has yet to be revealed. It is known that Tsurugi will do anything that Touma orders him to. When Mahiru sees scars on Tsurugi's upper body, he tells Mahiru he got them from making stupid mistakes while fighting.

Story
He appears first in chapter 39 when Mahiru Shirota and Co. are fighting against Tsubaki. Tsurugi fights alongside Junichirou Kurumamori and Yumikage Tsukimitsu.

They can't "kill" or catch him but are able to scare him away. After Tsubaki fled, Shuhei plans to change the tactic, but Tsurugi tells him, that for "that" money his work is over now.

The next time Tsurugi appears is when he and his two collegues, Junichirou and Yumikage, come to take Mahiru to the C3 Headquaters. But before going there, they invite him and Kuro to go out in a restaruant with them (on C3's costs).

Tsurugi and Yumi get drunk and when Junichirou just starts to tell things about Tsurugis past, they get a mission (from C3)  to handle some subclass. When Tsurugi asks for his payment, suddenly Touma interrupts and offers him as much as he wants - and he shall bring a shining performance.

When they reach their destination, Tsurugi takes on his so called limiter and attacks the subclass with no hesitation. In no time - none of them are alive anymore.

Later in C3's Headquarters, Tsurugi meets Mikuni Alicein, and even though they haven't talked much the situation gets out of control and Tsurugi attacks Doubt Doubt and throws him easily on the floor. The same happens when he goes for Mikuni. After defeating those two, he turns towards Sleepy Ash and lays a spell on him, so that he can't seperate from him too much.

A bit after that he is seen with some other C3 members who complain about Tsurugi using Hiragana instead of Kanji. He apologizes and tells Mahiru, that you can achieve everything if you apologize properly.

Suddenly the alarm starts - and although C3 calls out it was a mistake, Tsurugi doesn't realize his surroundings anymore and does not listen to the voices of Yumi and Jun.
